Imposter for hire

Part 5.

Next day.
"Attention all passengers....this is your captain speaking...we've arrived at Mumbai City of dreams...you're free to alight from the plane....and thank you for choosing...Green Bay Express...hope to see you once again," Captain said over the mike.
Passengers started alighting...one by one....then Shivaay come out....the first thing he heard...was brother.... Shivaay...he knew...it was none other than Omru his brothers...he hugged them...they took his luggages...and off they went to the car.... chatting away... because...after all...they were part from one another....for quite a long time.

Meanwhile.
Bungalow.
Anika's room.
It's a very unusual day...Anika is awake.... without being woken up... something must be up....let's find out....she's all groomed up....doing her finishing touches....carrying her bag with her.

"Wish me the best," Anika said... talking to the cardboard...then kissing it.

She left to the dining set... because...she knew...by now...Pinky must have prepared breakfast.

Mehta Mansion.
Bani is awake...she takes...the phone...on the cupboard next to her....she calls Malika.

"Hey Bani...hope you're feeling better?" Malika greeted.
"Honestly...no...I just came to in form...to take care of everything in the office....am not coming," Bani replied.
"Huh...are you ill?" Malika asked concerned.
"No...you are aware with whatever....is happening in my life....and the last thing...I want to go to the office....so I need a day off...hope...am not asking too much from you?" Bani asked.
"No...on the contrary...I completely... understand....the situation...you are in....I could have done the same thing...if I was on your shoes...just relax...I'll take care of everything here," Malika replied.
"Thanks amigo...you're a lifesaver," Bani thanked.
"Hey what are friends for," Malika replied disconnecting the call.

Back to rental house.
Dining set.
Shinky and Anika are at the table.
Pinky coughs.
"Mom are you fine... should I bring you water...I'll be right back," Anika said apprehensively.
"Relax dear...all good....but something feels different about you...today," Pinky replied.
"Dear tell me are you going for a party?" Shakti asked.
"Please father....in these clothes....and it's morning...for crying out loud," Anika replied.
"Then tell us....why are you keeping us in the dark?" Pinky replied.
"Am going job hunting...so what do you think?" Anika asked.
"Dear...it's alright...I and your mom can manage... don't trouble yourself," Shakti replied.
"I agree with your father....it's fine...as long as you live under our roof....we are...supposed to be...the ones... taking care of you," Pinky added.
"Come on...mom and dad...it's high time...I became independent...stop shielding me...have a look at Gauri...she's building her life....I have to do the same..... aren't you the ones...who hate...see me lazing and goofing around...that's why...I....Anika Thakur.....have decided...to make a mark on my life...come may come sunshine," Anika replied boldly.

Shinky knew....when she made up her decision....there is no point of changing it...she's made up her mind....they chose to support her as parents should.

After finishing breakfast...she left to her job hunting.

She boarded a rickshaw to go to town...with her documents of high school and college...with high spirits.... unfortunately...which door she opens...either we aren't hiring...or she was overqualified....she decided...it's enough today....to try her luck tomorrow...as the saying goes tomorrow is a new day.

She puts her headphones...so that....it can sooth her... as she's stressed already...then walks to the bus stop to go home.

On the other side....Bani went driving....since it was recommended....a good reliever of stress...to add salt to injury....not only did she thought....the only problem...was to leave Pune for sometime....which was difficult... because she had to be in office...then...to add salt to injury....her father blackmailed her indirectly...that he gave quite her time to prove herself...but...his patience was running out....so he thought of including Tej as a shareholder in the company.... without even considering how she would feel....this made her restless...and you one how that ends up....she starts increasing the speed limit by each passing second.

Anika sees that the bus stop...is on the other side...she removes her headphones...puts in her bag..then sees traffic lights is red...which means pedestrians can cross...no sooner she is about to cross..when Bani tries to stop the breaks....when she had control...she knocked her over...before a scandal erupts...she takes her to her car....she doesn't see clearly the person's face.... fortunately...there is a nearby hospital...she drives her there....they arrive... she's taken by the staff...for the doctor to see to...if she's fine....she hopes for the best...and prepares for the inevitable.
